I have a wireless network setup at home and is planning to purchase the
Zire 72 this weekend. The Zire 72 has built in bluetooth for wireless
networking but what do i need to get it to work with my 801.2b setup?

Thanks,
Alfred

Bluetooth isn't WIFI (802.11b)
The best I think you do is get a bluetooth USB dongle to plug into your
desktop computer, then use your computer as a gateway. I think the range is
20 to 30 feet.
